Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This reflects Jamie's experience from Episode 35 where he questions the Doctor's decisions (e.g., Victoria's departure) and is now in Episode 36 seeing another authority figure (Bennett) making potentially reckless decisions, mirroring his role as a skeptic of command structures.
